Oh man I love Tammy and Joel, i think they just about sum up the {www} ethos… to have fun at your wedding.

They wanted a “fun, laid back, bright, colourful happy summer garden wedding” according to Tammy, which included Dwarves serving canapés, an air display and  a caricaturist amongst some other amazing wedding vedors.

Bride Tammy got creative and crafted 400 pom poms for the confetti…. and the result is amazing. That yellow, blue and red colour scheme is totally fun, and the sweetie table looks amazing in the same tones.

What an amazing wedding, its so creative and fun, not forgetting there is a ton of love involved here.

Thanks so much to the awesome Chris Barber Photography for sharing his amazing images with us today…. wow.

Names…. Tammy & Joel

Wedding Date…. 23^rd July 2011

The Proposal…. Joel took me away for my 30^th Birthday – everything was a surprise, including the destination – New York and the proposal – on Brooklyn Bridge.

The Vision for the day…. A fun, laid back, bright, colourful happy summer garden wedding.

The Planning process…. We had an absolute ball arranging our wedding. Absolutely nothing was taken too seriously, we had fun with every aspect of it.

The Venue… Manor House Hotel, Moreton in Marsh in the Cotswolds

The Dress + Accessories….. I didn’t want a strapless dress as I get cold easy and I wanted something to cover my shoulders. I’m not into sparkles or fussiness, so I was looking for something really plain. Most shops have rows and rows of lovely strapless gowns with sparkles, embroidery, lacy bits – I knew I had my work cut out.

Groom’s attire… Our colour theme was Blue, Red and Yellow – Liverpool red for Joel’s favourite colour, so the groomsmen had Red cravats.

The Readings + Music…. We chose the Captain Corelli’s Mandolin reading, and “The Owl and the Pussycat” I walked down the aisle to “Day Like This” by Elbow, which is one of our favourite songs. Our first dance was Elvis Costello – She. Joel chose it, it’s not too slushy or cheesy and it’s a song we both absolutely love.

Beautiful bridesmaids….. My only adult bridesmaid was my best friend Clare and she had her pick of any blue dress she wanted, she went for a gorgeous Dessy dress and she looked beautiful.

The Flowers… It was all about the centrepieces! Huge red white yellow and blue displays; our florist, Sarah at Walker and Knot http://www.walkerandnott.co.uk/ was just amazing . She was lovely, really enthusiastic and loved working with our colour theme.

The Cake… Our cake was loosely based on a Choccywoccydoodah cake, but created by a very hard-working lovely lady called Silke from http://cacaobean.co.uk/ We told her the colour theme, details of the flowers and favours and she made the most crazy yet delicious thing we’ve ever seen!

Your Photographer…. The Photographer was the one choice we knew we had to get absolutely right. We wanted someone who would see the day as we saw it and document it just right for us. Chris Barber was awesome – creative, enthusiastic, they love their jobs and they’re not afraid to show it! They were great fun to be around on the day and our wedding pictures, well… our wedding pictures are just incredible.

The Details + Decor…. We wanted fun, colourful favours and what is more fun and colourful than a Rubik’s cube? They made excellent place card holders too.

The Honeymoon…. Our favourite place in the world… Las Vegas

Memorable moments… Take your pick!

Advice for other couples… Do exactly what you want! We did exactly what we wanted to do and it couldn’t have been more perfect -  we celebrated our relationship surrounded by our amazing family and friends, in the most fun, laid back, happy way crepossible.

Credit where credit’s due…

Dwarves serving canapés was one of our very first ideas. Joel is 6ft 8, so I guess we thought it’d be funny and something we’d never seen before! Those little dudes were just awesome – such nice, happy, friendly people.
